For as long as we can remember, the Golfer Supremacy Rankings were created via a complicated series of pulleys and levers. Then we all voted, and counted the votes by hand. And while counting one vote by hand can be arduous, we did it that way because it seemed right.

But no more. Yes, we here at the Golfer Supremacy Rankings are thrilled to announce our new agreement with Diebold Election Systems.

Yes, with Diebold now tabulating the ballots, we have a strong sense of security that things will be done the right way. After all, this is the company who's CEO Walden O'Dell promised that Ohio would "deliver its electoral votes" to the President Bush in 2004, and kept that promise. So when he says Diebold is impossible to rig, we believe him.

Golfer Supremacy Rankings

1. George W. Bush
Comments: With a golf swing as powerful as his willingness to look past reality, the votes have been tabulated and Dubya has proven to be the No. 1 golfer on the planet. Bush is a 15 handicap that wouldn't cheat if his life depended on it (though, maybe if YOUR life depended on it). A noted speed golfer, Bush is also credited with helping the U.S. team's glorious comeback in the 1999 Ryder Cup, giving a stirring speech that helped push the U.S. to victory. It's been downhill for all involved since.

1. Nooooooooooo!!!
Oh; I see. It's satire.

Phew! Diebold still only used for elections. That's a relief.

2. So comforting
He posts a nice anti e-voting comment later. I like him, he has a plan: next, we educate the golfers.
